I think it would have to be Garth Brooks "Much too young to feel this damned old"
The reason this song is special is because I was on the road with 2 friends, trailering our 3 horses, coming home from a rodeo where we had competed the night before. We had stopped very early in the morning for breakfast in a small country town. It was my birthday that day and as we walked into the diner that song was playing. We were exhausted from traveling and somehow we just started laughing about how close that song was to our lives at the moment!


This ol' highway's getting longer
Seems there ain't no end in sight
To sleep would be best, but I just can't afford to rest
I've got to ride in Denver tomorrow night

I called the house but no one answered
For the last two weeks no one's been home
I guess she's through with me, to tell the truth I just can't see
What's kept the woman holding on this long

And the white line's getting longer and the saddle's getting cold
I'm much too young to feel this damn old
All my cards are on the table with no ace left in the hole
I'm much too young to feel this damn old

The competition's getting younger
Tougher broncs, you know I can't recall
The worn out tape of Chris LeDoux, lonely women and bad booze
Seem to be the only friends I've left at all

And the white line's getting longer and the saddle's getting cold
I'm much too young to feel this damn old
All my cards are on the table with no ace left in the hole
I'm much too young to feel this damn old

Lord, I'm much too young to feel this damn old.
